Picasso’s secret images

A selection of old nineteenth-century Japanese shunga prints with explicit erotic and sexual subjects that belonged to Picasso’s personal collection are for the first time presented in an exhibition that shows the clear parallels with many of the scenes depicted by the artist in his own erotic prints made between 1964 and 1970. The exhibition Secret images. Picasso and Japanese erotic prints at Barcelona’s Museu Picasso runs from November 5, 2009 to February 14, 2010.
